Journal ArticleDOI
Human adiponectin inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in human endometrial carcinoma cells, HEC-1-A and RL95 2.
TL;DR: It is concluded that adiponectin exerts direct anti-proliferative effects on HEC-1-A and RL95-2 cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, which provides a cellular mechanism underlying the linkages between endometrial cancer and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of adiponectin and leptin secretion and expression by insulin through a PI3K-PDE3B dependent mechanism in rat primary adipocytes.
TL;DR: It is concluded that insulin and beta-agonists act directly at the adipocytes in opposing fashions to regulate the production of adiponectin and leptin, and that a PI3K-PDE3B-cAMP pathway mediates the effects of insulin to restore beta-agonist/cAMP-suppressed secretion and expression of these two adipokines.
